Public Administration Assistance to the Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina, City ofSarajevo and Central Bosnia-Herzegovina

摘要

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) authorized a team to travelto Bosnia-Herzegovina to assess the needs and capacities to receive and implement public administration assistance for the Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina, the City of Sarajevo and Municipalities within Central Bosnia-Herzegovina. The team visited the cities of Sarajevo, Tuzla, Mostar, Zenica, Gornyi Vakuf and Novi Travnik. At the Federation level, the team found that, aside from the existence of a Constitution that does lay a foundation for a coherent federal system, the government has minimal organizational structure, administrative processes and operational systems, including inter-governmental (Federal-local) systems. The team believes that USAID assistance could be beneficial at this time and recommends that it commence as soon as politically and technically feasible.
